Emptied

Emptied, she waits for her children to drop by, call, bring heaps of dirty laundry, anything. Emptied, she waits, silent heart shrivelling. Little does she know that when her progeny dropped from her grasp, one day the sun would shine and seed would spawn and green grandchildren would spring up to fill her quiver full.

Emptied,

she waits

for her children

to drop by,

call,

bring heaps of dirty laundry,

anything.

Emptied,

she waits,

silent heart

shrivelling.

Little does she know

that when her progeny

dropped from her grasp,

one day

the sun would shine

and seed would spawn

and green grandchildren

would spring up

to fill her quiver

full.

    My mothering is vicarious, so there’s no laundry–but I am feeding my new neighbor…

      That will do for comparison’s sake… 🙂

        Mel, I was over there yesterday, and his place is such a filthy mess (he’s lived there barely a month). Bless his heart, he has some serious limitations–I had given him 2 sponges and a bottle of Dawn soap, suggested he “tidy up”. To no avail. I’m terrified there will be an “infestation”…

    Wonderful and so relatable! The dirty laudry phase is over and done with…now the green grandchild – literally, from eating the green topping from a cup cake with her whole face 🙂
